Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM WebSphere Application Server   *
  *                  7.0 with the Feature Pack for XML 1.0.0.7   *
  *                  or earlier                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Undefined context may not be            *
  *                      detected, leading to internal error     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If the left hand side of a path expression consists of a
  function call that references the context item when the
  context is undefined, the processor may not detect the error
  and produce the correct error code, XPDY0002. For example, the
  expression "doc(/library/book[1]/url)/title" implicitly refers
  to the context via the parameter of a function call. If
  evaluated when the context is undefined, the processor will
  fail to raise the correct error which may result in an
  internal error when the processor tries to access the context
  item.
  

Problem conclusion

• The behavior has been corrected such that the reference to an
  undefined context item will be detected.
  
  This APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in the Feature
  Pack for XML 1.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
